    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    I don't understand why this is making everyone cheer. They basically said that we aren't getting anything to use in MY stories. Just stuff I have to steal from theirs. I don't want their stories. I want tools for making my own. It's great that they want to give us video games but it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes vs Tyranny

    Correct. I probably shouldn't have bought it. I wanted to get what I could have 5e and start playing immediately and was disappointed in my purchase. That being said there are adventure paths that have more room and don't have a condensed time line of events. The 4e adventure path in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes vs Tyranny

    My only real problem with Tyranny of Dragons is that there is no room for my PCs to do anything else but save the world. They found out exactly what was going on from the cultist they captured for Greenest and from then on if they quit, then the world was toast. It's the worst kind of...

    [UPDATED] WotC Gives You Some Official 5E Modern Armor!

    The difference is , the artificer is Unearthed Arcana while this article is "Behind the Screen" Just because the first BTS article gave us a map with some names and places on it doesn't mean it's part of the "official" multiverse. The same should be said for any rules from BTS. It's not...

    [UPDATED] WotC Gives You Some Official 5E Modern Armor!

    Because it's just stuff for the author's game that he was nice enough to post for us. It's not a statement of 5e's direction. It's not rules that are now part of core. It's just what he did for his game. If you have a problem with something then change it.

    [UPDATED] WotC Gives You Some Official 5E Modern Armor!

    I just think we should treat it like every other Behind the Scenes article. It's what one guy uses in his game and encourages the reader to use it or gain inspiration from it. But no one should be going on twitter and asking if tactical body armor should have an armor bonus or why DR was...

    Release D&D 5th Edition Release Schedules

    I find it a bit sad that we have reached the end of this schedule without anything new to expect.

    [UPDATED] WotC Gives You Some Official 5E Modern Armor!

    Is it really official? It's just a GM making some rules for their game and telling us about it. I'm not sure I would call them official.

    D&D 5E (2014) What 5E Most Needs Is...Usable Parts

    I'm aware that it's not a big railroad like Hoard of the Dairy Queen. But 50 dollars is too much if I'm only going to treat it like single session game source. Even using all the maps and turning it into a completely different campaign isn't worth 50 dollars plus all the extra time it would...

    D&D 5E (2014) What 5E Most Needs Is...Usable Parts

    Yeah, I think the game could use more GM aids in all forms and created for this edition. That way I don't have to spend time house ruling and quality checking. I wish there was a happy medium between "All you get is an adventure path" and "Zounds! That's a lot of dead trees!"

    D&D 5E (2014) So,whats up with those half orcs?

    Half Orc Paladin Gnome Cleric Gnome Rogue Human Warlock High Elf Wizard Don't have any problems with the Half Orc. Your players just want to be a bunch of savage killers I guess.

    Dragonlance Would you allow Kender outside of Dragonlance?

    So much hate. Playing a kender doesn't mean you have a license to disrupt the game. The same goes for the following: playing a Drow playing a gnome Playing a rogue Playing the Chaotic Neutral alignment because evil is now allowed Playing a paladin playing an evil alignment when everyone...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    Ok, so if I buy the 150 dollar license, I can make all my players' characters for them with all the features? But I cannot use any monsters from the monster manual unless I purchase the packs? I can make my own monsters and use my own pictures on their tokens and use my own maps?

    New hard-core Dungeon/RPG Dungeons of Aledorn inspired by board RPGes on Kickstarter

    I'm really hoping this game makes it. I'm always looking for more turn-based games RPGs!

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Modifying Classes & Spell-less Rangers

    Useful. Would have been a good time to talk about Beastmaster Rangers but I guess we have to wait at least another month.

    D&D 5E (2014) How did you handle the Aarakocra?

    I don't get the fear of PCs that fly. If the PC is Melee then they have to get within reach of those on the ground. If they are ranged then they usually hide behind their companions anyway and probably are targeted MORE often flying around then they would be hanging behind the fighter. To say...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Wizard = specialist wizard?

    It's probably safer to make it so they no longer have to make Concentration rolls due to damage instead of two concentration spells at once. Another feature a generalist could get is an extra feat/stat increase (since they have more time working on other things)

    D&D 5E (2014) I gave my players too much gold

    Ok I will give you that the magic items are pretty cheap in the DMG . But it's ok to overcharge for them. Also, there are some more rare items that while aren't ultra powerful in combat could be really cool to have. Like figurines of power or Bags of Holding. I definitely wouldn't just...

    D&D 5E (2014) I gave my players too much gold

    I'm not really understanding. 12000 gp is not that much when magic items are for sell as you have established. ARe the PCs only adventuring for the money? Then ask them what they want to do with it. If they aren't, then let them figure out what to do with it on their own and give them...

    Chris Perkins: Reintroducing Settings in Ways that Surprise People

    They could put out a new setting. Also, adventures that are smaller in scope but have good setting material of the area involved are also good.
